Madame

J’aurai l’honneur de vous recevoir dimanche prochain rue Racine 3. C’est le seul jour que je puisse passer chez moi, et encore je n’en suis pas absolument certaine. Mais j’y ferai tellement mon possible, que ma bonne étoile m’y aidera peut[-]être un peu.

Agréez mille remerciemen[t]s de cœur ainsi que Monsieur Browning, que j’espère voir avec vous, pour la sympathie que vous m’accordez.

George Sand

Address: Monsieur et Madame Robert / Brownings / 138. avenue des champs Elysées.

Publication: EBB-MRM, III, 347.

Manuscript: Armstrong Browning Library.

Translation:

 

I will be honoured to welcome you next Sunday at 3 rue Racine. It is the only day I can spend at home, and even of that I am not absolutely certain. But I shall try so hard to do my best, that my lucky star may help me a little.

Accept a thousand heart felt thanks, also for Mr Browning, whom I hope to see with you for the sympathy you have shown me.

George Sand
